Lennar Reviews

Nobody answers the calls or messages after their step completes. Their simple response is I dont know.

Disaster all the way through. I really believe Lennar failed in every aspect. And from now, the house is already falling apart. All baseboards have left the wall. Outside panels are peeling back. Incredible. The finance side of this I could write a novel on how bad it was. Absolutely unacceptable.

-Buying process was painful and the price on the contract didn’t match the verbal price we were told. -Early on during a scheduled visit, I noticed the wrong bathtub and shower was installed. It took a month of nagging to get someone to confirm that the wrong shower was installed. This ended up causing a 3 month, last minute delay of our home being built. -the sheathing on my roof has about a 5 inch gap on it. I assumed a vented roof cap was going to be installed. That is not the case and I have a 5 inch gap just covered by shingles. Lennar claims it’s per manufacturer standards, but I’m pretty sure that’s against local code. -Lennar was very strict that my 3rd party inspection was “structural only” and needed to be 1 week prior to the initial walk through. Well my dishwasher wasn’t installed yet so it didn’t get tested. The day I move in, I open my door to a flooded floor. It’s been 6 weeks since I have moved in and the repairs are still not done. The fact that the dishwasher wasn’t tested after installation is ridiculous. -My backyard is filled with soccer ball size rocks and easily 50 cigarette butts, I have been promised a final grade for about 6 weeks now. -my front yard was covered in construction debris and cigarette butts. This is simply unprofessional and unacceptable. Ultimately I cleaned this up myself. -the tac strip is poking out of the carpet nearly everywhere, my kids have hurt themselves on this multiple times. -the concrete on my back patio has a crack in it, I noted it on my initial inspection but nothing has been done about it - My drive way has a massive red chalk stain, power washing was unsuccessful, and it appears Lennar has given up on fixing it -the landscaping in the front is a joke. No landscape paper under the half inch of mulch that was placed. My drip system for the front is on the same valve/zone as the main rotary heads. -to be fair, it seems that Lennar has good intentions, It is just apparent that they don’t have control of their subs and are clearly disorganized. -The warranty team has been decent to work with, but the disconnect between warranty and construction team is apparent. -Ultimately working with Lennar has been a nightmare and I currently would not recommend them as a builder. The floor plans and locations are great, but the whole process has been terrible ... More

So there’s a reason all the inspectors have a running joke about Lennar homes- because the blue tape walkthroughs are a joke. An entire cabinet in my kitchen is currently cracked completely in half. They installed it that way! The paint on my walls chips off if a fly lands on it. The workers are loud, messy, and lazy. There’s no standards on who they will hire as long as they do it fast, Lennar doesn’t care. My lawn is full of sunflowers from workers spitting seeds everywhere and construction trash is constantly in my yard. The “landscaping” is awful- the 3 bushes they planted are completely dead. Crunchy and dead upon arrival. The grout is unsealed & stains easily. The shower both pools up water and leaks! Yippee! My dishwasher was installed crooked so it leaks if I use it. I’m pretty sure there’s no insulation in the walls, as I removed a towel hook from the wall, the drywall crumbled and presented a huge hole where no insulation was present. It’s just… not even a cheap home by any means and you sure as heck have no quality control whatsoever. Just sucks this is the biggest purchase of my life so far and it’s worse than a manufactured home. ... More

We have had a bad experience. There has been several several issues with the house. Constantly calling portal for repairs. Taking time off from work. I think homeowner should be more involved in building process when it comes to upgrades or choices for their house. Honestly i don’t think i would buy another Lenar home after this experience. I am still dealing with issues.

Two weeks before closing, we walked through and discussed the defects that needed to be addressed. (We also missed several defects). We walked through on closing day and not one single thing on that list was fixed. As for warranty issues it seems that once we are told “that’s normal”, even though it is not normal. That’s it, no recourse.

Poor construction management, doorknobs all over the house falling off doors, nails sticking up in the carpet, used razors found in the yard, literally dozens of instances of overspray, you can see points where studs are on the wall (not flush) Garage doesn’t actually fit things with the advertised depth (it’s a couple inches shorter, my truck would’ve fit if it was in fact the 20’ advertised). When I inquired about this I had no response. Lots of electrical and construction debris found in the back yard. All of this was after a home inspection that found unsecured roof shingles, missing insulation, even more overspray, broken microwave, damaged garage door, broken garage door opener, and a couple other issues (that’s just off the top of my head). ...

Very disappointing experience for the price of the home.

Poor quality overall. Very disappointed. Many defects and issues that require repair AFTER closing. Poor attention to quality control over vendors during the construction process and lack of oversight in remedying BEFORE closing so it leaves the homeowner having to chase to get warranty items repaired. The warranty rep (Doug) has been fantastic and responsive - BUT - we shouldn’t have to deal with all of these issues. More care is needed in making sure the home is delivered in better shape/quality BEFORE you sell to a prospective buyer. Not fair to the buyer to have to deal with all of these issues after close and after they already paid. ... More

I definitely would like to arrange an inspection by leadership to see the overall work performed in my NEWLY BUILT home, especially by GMT. Specifically, with the trash found inside the walls, we reported to Leadership. And that it was found after they had to remove the shower wall for replacement less than a month after closing. And many other less-than-satisfactory issues we have endured. The quality of craftsmanship being witnessed is borderline criminal.

They offered great interest rate but be aware of hidden charges and surprises during the buying process. The craftsmanship is below average. You might encounter rudeness from the sales rep too. I do not recommend this builder.

The house is not 55 + friendly because of not having the walking- in shower for upstair, or guest bathroom. No landing on staircase. very poor quality of kitchen cabinet kitchen cabinets without roll out trays or drawers which does not make sense for olderly people. Kitchen cabinet doors are not even self-closing. caulking, paint job are very bad quality. sheetrock joints are poorly done and wall are uneven needs resurfacing before painting. no upgrade option or no choice of color of flooring is bad. All appliances are very very poor quality and very noisy not strudy so best option is not to give and offer the credit for that. The unfinished storage area should be given with the flooring and paint. ... More

A builders grade paradise. We don't know, or we don't do that are the mottos around here. No consideration for the overall ambience of the development, homes are built with lack of the consideration of the ability of the buyers who are new to the area to have access to services and information of availability unless you are willing to be Facebook savvy and trusting of your "neighbors". Air leaks and failing " finishing" touches are common, the washouts of the so called irrigation system are not only annoying but dangerous at times. You get the picture. And it only promises to get worse.

We just bought a house and it came completely filthy. Paint splatters all over the floor. Screen door not fixed as they told us it would be. They just rush you through and pressure you to sign off and make promises that they don’t stick to. Beware on the construction sign off.

Major delays from the start, then rushing to closing. Home was NOT ready during final walk through. Was promised at closing issues would be resolved before closing was over, but 6 hours after closing we still had workers in our home. Concrete was cracked upon move in, lights hanging out of ceiling, walls not painted, appliance parts missing, bowed walls, etc. Over all the structure/bones of the home are great; however the finishes are extremely poor quality. Getting a hold of people about issues has been nearly impossible. The build/buying process was a disaster, at least coming from a first time home buyer. They rushed the process to make up for delays, and cutting corners is definitely noticeable in the finishes of the home. ... More

Still am very unsettled about coming in to buy home that was advertised with a red slash through it and advertised as reduced price. Went in on last day unexpectedly when I got email on home sale. Went by address and walked around. I wanted it no matter what. I was told I had to pay full price and was given 2 different reasons that I can't remember why I could NOT have sale price advertised. One of those reasons was: I had to pay cash? So I had to pay full price. Why was my Representative paid commission on base price of home? I was told I had to purchase at full price. I need someone higher up to answer that honestly so I may understand clearly. Not from anyone in Sales Office. My Representative is working with another family and a different Agent in the office. They got the sale price advertised. It doesn't make sense. I don't know if all communities give you the home "CONSTRUCTION CLEAN" which means: paint splatters on floors, windows dirty inside and out, entire 2nd bath tub overed in overspray paint that took 2 hours to scrub off, wood dust in all drawers and cupboards and yard had several big pieces of metal, wood and trash at the corner of lot I am responsible to clean up. If I found 2 ladies eating lunch in my house that closed 5 days prior because they thought no one lived there. They looked like cleaning ladies? I have a huge list of things I am catching now that I am slowly moving in. They are kind and want to fix. My schedule is full. I will sit down next week and make my list of items that were all sloppy when completed. This is a BASIC HOUSE: Basic lower end carpet, lower end door stoppers, lower end bath tub, lower end washer hoses that are huge rubber ones instead of nicer metal hoses.They have called to help and see what my needs are. I appreciate that. I am finally going to address the items and see if they can be fixed. We will see. I will appreciate that when I make my final list next week of over 20 small issues I need to discuss. ... More

Lennar is big, too big to know what the customer experience is. There are many people involved, fancy cool names for Lennar teams. But getting responses for a person (rather than a system) is another thing altogether.

I've been in my home of just about 6 weeks and just got the keys to my mailbox 2 weeks ago after much effort on my part. My grass is dying along the edge and more brown/ gray spots are developing. I don't have a light in the front of my house and it's very dark now and I'm at the very end. I'm still waiting

No cable. No lawn. No towel racks. Bad paint. Cut corners everywhere.

At first glance, the houses look great. However, lines are not straight, walls are crooked, door frames are cracking and the hardware is drilled and redrilled into place leaving loose screws and doors that won't stay shut. The electrical system is faulty, plug in a hair dryer, lose power in half the house (until you reset the breaker). Water pipes aren't buried, they're simply covered with mulch. I'm afraid to see what the future brings with the quality of this house. The process of buying the home should have been an indicator of how the quality of work would have been. Each step of the way, I had to jump through hoops for anything from "proving" why my company hired me to many other personal and intrusive questions that had no basis on my ability to pay for the home. The home was extremely dirty when we moved in and we were told, "That's just how it is when you move into a new house." I will say, that the warranty section has started fixing some issues, well see if it continues. ... More

Watch mortgage specifics to the end. Many bait and switch tactics. Follow up after closing us non existent.

Lennar rushed me into a home that wasn’t ready to be moved into. Everyday I see more and more things that should’ve been completed before I moved in. luckily I still have a year left to get things corrected, but it should’ve been ready to go before I closed. I’ll know not to purchase with Lennar again in the future

Purchase experience was ok. Lots in fine print on paperwork not discussed. Many visits here during construction and there is virtually no follow up on issues. Many were not addressed until after closing and our home wasnt even cleaned. Common areas are a mess and hoping a service ticket helps that. Cabinets needed full adjustment after closing. Walls not straight. Would not have bought this home if we knew then what we know how. Sorry

Make sure you get everything fixed before you buy and sign that dotted line. also, give it all a really good look and get your own professional to review your house. quality of certain materials like doors very cheap and can hear everything from room to room in through the wall, and every foot step in house.
